I was innocently planning my route in York and found this tower! by DazzleLove Tags:Casual UKUnited Kingdom 4 comments Wow!! My sister has her own tower!! “I knew you loved my brother more than me!” “What do you mean, I named a tower after you” Built in ~1069, the name originates in the 1400s as ‘le bydoutre’, eventually recorded as ‘Biche Doughter’ by 1566. Could be that due to its location on a high promontory, and prevailing south-westerly winds, it was a particularly horrible place to be imprisoned… The word ‘Dortour’ is an old French word, meaning ‘bedroom’. It’s also a monastic name for a dormitory. It’s a thing. https://wikimapia.org/31033354/Bitchdaughter-Tower Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
